Primary Issues Resolved by This Service Pack

As a result of detailed information from customers who used the Customer Error Reporting Utility, a number of problems were identified and fixed. Updates have been made in the following commands and features:

AutoCAD Architecture

Project Navigator

Closing AutoCAD Architecture while the Project Navigator is open may cause occasional crashes.

Object Viewer

Crash when saving an image in the object viewer while the steering wheel is enabled.

The following distribution method applies only to administrative images created with the Deployment wizard. After you complete these procedures, subsequent deployments of your product will include this Service Pack.

In all cases, append this Service Pack to the deployment. The only time it is appropriate to merge the Service Pack is if you intend to distribute the deployment through a group policy object.

The patch (Service Pack) file that you download contains an MSP (Microsoft Patch) file, which you extract from the executable file using the /e (extract) switch.

From the Autodesk Product Support website, download the Service Pack EXE file to your local computer.

On the Start menu (Windows), click Run. Enter the following information and click OK.

<local_drive:>\<patch_name> /e <local_drive:>\< patch_name>.msp

Insert the Autodesk media and launch setup.exe.

Select Create Deployments. Click Next.

On the Begin Deployment page, in the Specify the Deployment Location box, enter the shared network location where you would like to create an administrative image, or click Browse to find a location. Users will install the product from this location.

In the Specify a Deployment Name box, enter the name for your deployment.

Continue through the Deployment wizard, open and configure the deployment in the product configuration page, click Add to find the Service Pack extracted in Step 2. Notice that the Service Pack has been added in the Include Service Pack(s) from Local Drive or Local Network box. Close and return to the product list.

Follow the instructions in the Deployment wizard to complete the Service Pack deployment.

Note: When the AutoCAD Architecture Service Pack is included in a deployment, the deployment will install the Service Pack without the update files for Autodesk 360.

Note: The extraction of MSP from the service pack executable requires VC++ runtime redistributable 2010. Please make sure it is installed before extracting the MSP file.

We want to express our appreciation to all our customers who identified these issues and reported them to us. Their reports gave us the opportunity to improve the product for everyone's benefit. We also thank you for your continued business, and for your feedback regarding this release.
